Just Another Day In Paradise
By Fallon Sanada

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE.. this is Tasuki's chapter, after all..
Urm, I apologize for the language and such, but I'm not changing the rating just now.
A/N: The long-awaited fourth chapter!! Whoo! I'm sorry I haven't been working on this, I've been working on a new fic I'm gonna call "Keisuke's Quest", and the first chapter of that ought to be up sometime soon. ^_^ Here goes!

CHAPTER FOUR: House Rules and Confusion
POV: Shun'u "Genrou" Kou

I heard the argument from my seat, and I felt kind of ashamed of myself, 'cuz I'd been tryin' to get that Ryuuen kid in trouble.
I had planted a virus on the computer- it would take the school DAYS to get it out.
Now Ryuuen would be in trouble because of somethin' I fuckin' did, and there she was protesting and sayin' that I ain't a lier, that it was an honest mistake.
Bull.
Damn naive kid, can't she see that I knew that that virus would get on the computer? Can't see..
Aw, damn, I feel bad.
She thinks I'm 'er friend, and I go an' double cross 'er like that...
What's up with me today? First I help out the little punk in the first place and now I feel bad about stabbin' her in the back with the damn virus!
Somethin's wrong with me, maybe I'm sick. Damn. That WOULD happen on the first day of school, wouldn't it?
"Aw, fuck." I slammed my fist on the desk, narrowly missing the keyboard.
"What?" Kouji, my best friend, asked.
Kouji's been my best friend since I don't know when.. I can tell him anything... to a point.
"Nothin'." I sighed; I wish I could tell him the truth (he is my best friend, after all), but I'd look soft, and above all I do not want to look fucking soft.
Kouji looks worried. Dammit, he's too soft. Damn, damn, damn.
"You look pretty pissed." He says. I become pissed off, mainly because he's pryin' and he ain't s'posed to do that, y'know?
"I am."
"Why?"
"I don't wanna frickin' talk about it."
"Okay." He knew that I'd talk when I was good and damn ready. He didn't press the matter. Good.

The bell rang around then. It was loud, annoying, and gave me a headache.
Just frickin' great.
This is NOT turning out to be a good day. I'm surprised I haven't blown it and beat the shit outta someone yet.
VERY surprised. After all, I'm told that I have an anger problem...
Well, that class is finally over. Thank the Gods.
I took out my schedule and looked to it, but as I was about to find out what class I had, I heard that could-be-male-could-be-female voice.
Damn, damn, damn.
"Genrou-san!" The voice chirped, overly happy per usual. "What class do you have?"
I looked at my schedule and grimaced. "English."
"Same." That happy, (what was that word? Oh yeah) androgynus voice said. "That's cool.
"Yeah, real fuckin' cool." I growled, but my attitude didn't seem to put any kind of a damper on Ryuuen's good mood.
We hurried to class and I realized that I didn't know anyone except for Ryuuen and that jackass Shunkaku from last block.
Shit. This ain't good.

END CHAPTER FOUR

A/N: I know, another short chapter.. darn it. I lengthened it as much as I could, but my handwriting is big, and I often overestimate the amount of writing I'm actually doing, you know? I think I'm writing more when really I'm not writing much at all. Next chapter will be longer, promise. It's already two notebook pages (like this one was) but I'm not done with it yet. Should be up soon. ^_^
Here's a preview of Chapter Five: Siblings Are Such Funny Creatures (it's from Kotoku's POV):

"Umm.. what did you just say?" The Junior beside me asked in English.
"I said some math problems out loud in English," I replied, also in English, "the teacher seemed to think me very clever for doing algebra in English. By the way, my name is Bu Kotoku."

That's yer preview! Next chapter: new characters, Amiboshi as the younger twin, and yet more antics from Ryuuen and the gang! Sayanora!
